I usually find it impossible to
get a perpendicular cut on thick items - the blade always seems to
wander
off on its own path on the underside.


The secret is to steer by twisting the saw along the axis of the blade,
and
resist any temptation to apply sideways forces (like you would to steer a
panel
saw).

And to get a professional jigsaw. I never realised there was so much
difference until advised to do so here.


Yep. Many have been surprised by this, including me.
